<p>I created this plugin because, I was tired of registering my site with millions of ad marketing/management websites, which were not only complete waste of time but money as well. I have noticed a lot of such websites which “claim to help us manage our ad-space”, but in the end they end up putting their own ads (from which they earn) and also take a share of our earnings. So I present to you MyAdManager. There are many plugins to manage 125×125 ads, but the most unique feature of this plugin is that it automates ALL the procedures, including buying of Ads through PayPal and displaying them in your website automatically. It uses the PayPal IPN (Instant Payment Notification) feature.</p>
<p>MyAdManager docks easily into your WordPress Administrator Page. You`ll notice a new tab called ‘MyAdManager’ being created in the front page</p>
<p>This scenario will give you a clear idea on how MyADManager Engine Works :</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>If you want to display 2 ads horizontally, 3 ads vertically, you`ll have a total of 6 AD-Slots. You can add maximum 6 OUTSIDE ads in this case, although you can add how much ever HOME ads you want.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If you have 6 OUTSIDE ads in the inventory (all within the expiry date), all 6 AD-Slots will be occupied by them (since they are paid ads, and have higher priority over HOME ads). These ADS will be displayed in random slots for every request to avoid AD-blindness, and to give every OUTSIDE AD equal space and exposure.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Now if 1 OUTSIDE AD gets deactivated (expired or you have deactivated it), you will have 5 AD-Slots occupied with OUTSIDE ads, while 1 AD-Slot is free. Now if you have created any HOME ads, the most recently created HOME ad will be displayed till there is a new OUTSIDE AD.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If another OUTSIDE AD expires, another HOME ad will be displayed if available. If there is no HOME ad available, then that AD-Slot will be empty.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Ability to design how you want your ads to be displayed. i.e How many ads horizontally and how many vertically. This also determines your maximum AD-Slots.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>2 Types of ADs – Outside, Home</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Home Ads – These type of ads don<code>t expire. They are displayed when there are not enough OUTSIDE ads to be displayed in the AD-Slots. These ads can only be created via the Admin Panel. NOTE: These ADs don</code>t rotate. If you want ads to rotate, make them as OUTSIDE Ads.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Outisde Ads – Everytime someone buys adspace on your website, an OUTSIDE Ad is created by default. These types of ads have valid expiry dates, After the expiry date, it`ll get deactivated automatically. Outside Ads can also be created via the Admin Panel.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>ADs can be bought directly from your website. No need for any middle men or any middle websites. Payment is payed and processed via Paypal. As soon as the payment is confirmed via Paypal IPN, the AD is automatically added to the Ad-Inventory, and immediately will be LIVE. If you don`t want to use this feature, you can simply disable it via the Admin Panel.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Admin Interface to de-activate, activate and delete ADs</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Logs of every successful transaction. Everytime an Ad-Slot is sold, a record is made.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>You can also determine, how long your ad-space should be sold for. It can be sold for a week or for a month (different prices ofcourse). Everything can be customized in the Admin Panel. If you don`t want to sell your ad-space for a week, you can simply disable it.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Known Issues</h3>
<ul>
<li>If you have WP Super Cache installed on your blog, ads may not be rotated on every new request. This issue is being addressed and will be sorted out in the upcoming updates of the plugin.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Upgrading to 0.9.x</h3>
<p>Try to use the automatic Wordpess updater, if that doesn’t work. Please Deactivate the plugin, upload the latest version and reactivate it.</p>

<p>If you’ve given up the low-paying and slightly obtrusive ad networks used by many new bloggers, in favor of selling ads directly, you may have been frustrated with the excessive time involved managing your ads. Not only do you have to find advertisers to sponsor your blog, you have to manually edit your template to put the ad in, and then head over to your favorite calendar app to set an alert to remind you when to take the ad down.</p>
<p>Time consuming practices like those are a thing of the past. The WP125 plugin can help you manage your ads more efficiently, leaving you with more time to write new posts. The plugin adds a new “Ads” menu to the WordPress admin, featuring submenus for tweaking display settings and adding and removing ads.</p>
<p>Features include:</p>
<ul>
<li>One or two column ad display, and support through template tags to implement your own unconventional design.</li>
<li>Show as many ads as you want, and in either manual or random order</li>
<li>Keep track of how many times an ad is clicked</li>
<li>When creating a new ad, you don’t have to calculate the end date yourself. Just input how many days you wish the ad to run for, and the correct date will be applied. The ad will be automatically taken down when the time comes.</li>
<li>When an ad run is over, the record is archived on the Inactive ads screen, so you can check on the final click count, or revive the ad for another run.</li>
<li>When an ad slot is empty, a placeholder ad of your choice will be displayed. This could be a “Your Ad Here” image linking to a page with statistics and pricing, or an affiliate link.</li>
<li>Optionally recieve email notifications when an ad expires. Useful if you send follow-up messages to advertisers, or if you just want to stay in the know.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Upgrading</h3>
<p>You may upgrade the plugin via the automated system in WordPress 2.5 or greater, or “old-style” by downloading the new one and then<br />
1. Deactivating plugin<br />
2. Uploading the updated files<br />
3. Reactivating plugin</p>
<h3>Known Issues</h3>
<ul>
<li>If you have WP Super Cache installed on your blog, it may conflict with WP125’s click tracking feature. To fix this, add “index.php” on a new line in the “Rejected URLs” field of the WP Super Cache options page. This will disable caching for yourblog.com/index.php. If someone goes to yourblog.com, they will still get the cached version, but since WP125’s click tracker URLs look like “/index.php?adclick=1,” they will avoid the cache.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Support</h3>
<p>If you’re having a problem with the plugin, try posting on the official WordPress forum at https://wordpress.org/support/ (be sure to use the tag “WP125”!). I, or another user of the plugin, will hopefully be able to answer your questions. Or send me an email via the contact form on Webmaster-Source.com.</p>
